Cold January 13, 2017

Minnesota just notched its first -40 since Feb 20, 2015. The National Weather Service Cooperative observer in Cotton and Embarrass recorded a low of -42 on January 13, 2017. It's a pretty routine winter value for some of the low-lying northern MN towns, but still lower than any temperature on record at both Duluth and Minneapolis! Due to some early morning clouds, the Twin Cities had a low only of -7 while St. Cloud had a low of -19.
